The Sri Lanka Cricket Board announced a 22-man squad, on Thursday for the upcoming tour of South Africa, starting on December 26. Former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews has been ruled out of the South Africa tour due to a hamstring injury but is expected to feature in the home series against England, starting from January 14.

The former national captain had pulled his hamstring during the Lanka Premier League’s (LPL) first semi-final match between the Colombo Kings and Galle Gladiators.

Meanwhile, Kusal Perera, Dushmantha Chameera, and Dasun Shanaka have earned a recall to the national team.

Sri Lanka will travel to the rainbow nation for a two-match Test series, starting with the Boxing Day Test, post which they will take on the visiting English team at home in another series of two Test matches.

Notably, South Africa had already announced their squad for the Sri Lanka series last week and limited-overs captain Quinton de Kock was named skipper of the side in Kagiso Rabada’s absence.

According to the statement released by the SLC board:

the “squad was approved by the Minister of Youth and Sports Honorable Namal Rajapaksa”.
